The conductive frame covers the first electrical component, and includes at least one opening in the top portion of the conductive frame, one of which openings exposes the second electrical component. A top surface of the top portion of the conductive frame is substantially coplanar with a top surface of the second electrical component.

BACKGROUND

1. Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to a semiconductor device package and a method of manufacturing the same, and more particularly, to a semiconductor device package with a shielding cover and a manufacturing method thereof.

2. Description of the Related Art

Semiconductor devices have become progressively more complex, driven at least in part by the demand for enhanced processing speeds and smaller sizes. Enhanced processing speeds tend to involve higher clock speeds, which can involve more frequent transitions between signal levels, which, in turn, can lead to a higher level of electromagnetic emissions at higher frequencies or shorter wavelengths. Electromagnetic emissions can radiate from a source semiconductor device, and can be incident upon neighboring semiconductor devices. If the level of electromagnetic emissions at a neighboring semiconductor device is sufficiently high, these emissions can adversely affect the operation of the neighboring semiconductor device. This phenomenon is sometimes referred to as electromagnetic interference (EMI). Smaller sized semiconductor devices can exacerbate EMI by providing a higher density of semiconductor devices within an overall electronic system, and, thus, a higher level of undesired electromagnetic emissions at neighboring semiconductor devices.

One way to reduce EMI is to shield a set of semiconductor devices within a semiconductor device package. In particular, shielding can be accomplished by including an electrically conductive casing or housing that is electrically grounded and is secured to an exterior of the package. When electromagnetic emissions from an interior of the package strike an inner surface of the casing, at least a portion of these emissions can be electrically shorted, thereby reducing the level of emissions that can pass through the casing and adversely affect neighboring semiconductor devices. Similarly, when electromagnetic emissions from a neighboring semiconductor device strike an outer surface of the casing, a similar electrical shorting can occur to reduce EMI of semiconductor devices within the package.

However, EMI shielding increases the total size of a semiconductor device package, and thus it may not satisfy the demands brought on by developments in high density integrated circuits.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Because EMI shielding in the form of housings or casings increases the size of a semiconductor package, the use of such shielding is counter-indicated for implementation within small semiconductor devices. This disclosure describes techniques for EMI shielding suitable for smaller semiconductor device packages, which additionally reduces manufacturing costs.

FIG. 1A illustrates a cross-sectional view of a semiconductor device package 1 in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The semiconductor device package 1 includes a substrate 10, a plurality of active electrical components 12, 12′, a plurality of other electrical components 13, 23, 33, a conductive frame 14, and an EMI shield 16.

The substrate 10 has a top surface 101, a bottom surface 102 opposite to the top surface 101 and a lateral surface 103. The lateral surface 103 is at a peripheral edge of the substrate 10, and extends between the top surface 101 and the bottom surface 102. The substrate 10 may be, for example, a printed circuit board, such as a paper-based copper foil laminate, a composite copper foil laminate, or a polymer-impregnated glass-fiber-based copper foil laminate. The substrate 10 may include an interconnection structure (not shown in FIG. 1A), such as a redistribution layer (RDL), for electrical connection between the electrical components 13, 23, 33 and/or the active electrical components 12, 12′ mounted on a top surface 101 of the substrate 10.

The active electrical component 12 is mounted on the top surface 101 of the substrate 10. The active electrical component 12 may be a flip-chip type semiconductor device. According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the active electrical component 12 may be a wire-bond type semiconductor device. The active electrical component 12 may be, for example, an integrated chip (IC) or a die.

Electrical contacts 12 a of the active electrical component 12 are encapsulated by an underfill 11 which is used to protect the electrical contacts 12 a. The underfill 11 may be, for example, epoxy or other suitable material.

The electrical components 13, 23, 33 are mounted on the top surface 101 of the substrate 10. The electrical components 13, 23, 33 may be, for example, capacitors, resistors, inductors, or a combination thereof. The electrical component 13 has two electrical contacts (electrodes) 13 a and 13 b, each of which has a surface, respectively 13 a 1, 13 b 1.

The conductive frame 14 has a top portion 141, a rim (fence) 142 and at least one compartment 143. The top portion 141 has a top surface 1411. The rim 142 and the compartment 143 are substantially perpendicular to the top portion 141. The conductive frame 14 is mounted on the top surface 101 of the substrate 10 to cover the active electrical components 12, 12′ and the electrical component 33. The top portion 141 of the conductive frame 14 has at least one opening 14 h to expose the electrical components 13, 23. The top surface 1411 of the top portion 141 of the conductive frame 14 is substantially coplanar with the surfaces 13 a 1, 13 b 1 of the first electrical component 13, which is the component which extends vertically the highest in the semiconductor device package 1, where the term “vertically” refers to the orientation shown in FIG. 1A. The conductive frame 14 may include one or more metals, or a mixture, an alloy, or other combination thereof.

The conductive frame 14 is mounted on the top surface 101 of the substrate 10 through a connection member 17. That is, the conductive frame 14 is electrically connected to a grounding plane of the substrate 19 through the connection member 17. The connection member 17 may be, for example, a conductive bonding material. The connection member 17 is separated from the active electrical component 12 by a distance D equal to or smaller than about 0.2 millimeter (mm), such as less than or equal to about 0.19 mm, about 0.18 mm, about 0.17 mm, about 0.16 mm, about 0.15 mm, about 0.14 mm, about 0.13 mm, about 0.12 mm, about 0.11 mm, or about 0.1 mm.

The compartment 143 extends from the top portion 141 of the conductive frame 14 to separate the active electrical component 12 from the active electrical component 12′ disposed on the top surface 101 of the substrate 10. The compartment 143 reduces the effect on the active electrical component 12 of electromagnetic emissions generated by the active electrical component 12′ (e.g. EMI or cross-talk), and vice versa. The compartment 143 can further separate a first set of electrical components 13, 33 from a second set of electrical components 23 disposed on the top surface 101 of the substrate 10, to reduce the effect on the electrical components 23 of electromagnetic emissions generated by the electrical components 13, 33, and vice versa.

A first pattern 15 may be, for example, barcodes or other recognition codes (e.g., quick response (QR) code) that represent information corresponding to the semiconductor device package 1, such as a serial number of the semiconductor device package 1 and a unit number of the substrate 10. In one embodiment, a first pattern 15 can be formed from the top surface 1411 into the top portion 141 of the conductive frame 14. In other words, the top portion 141 of the conductive frame 14 is substantially coplanar with the top surface of the first pattern 15 and the EMI shield 16 directly contacts the first pattern 15. The first pattern 15 can be formed by, for example, laser techniques or other suitable techniques.

The EMI shield 16 is disposed on the external surface of the conductive frame 14. The EMI shield 16 is in contact with the top surface 1411 of the top portion 141 of the conductive frame 14, an outer lateral surface 1421 of the rim 142 of the conductive frame 14 and the surfaces 13 a 1, 13 b 1 of the first electrical component 13. The EMI shield 16 may be a conductive thin film, and may include, for example, aluminum (Al), copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), tin (Sn), gold (Au), silver (Ag), nickel (Ni) or stainless steel, or a mixture, an alloy, or other combination thereof. Accordingly, the EMI shield 16 and the conductive frame 14 can reduce the effect on the active electrical components 12, 12′ and the electrical components 13, 23, 33 disposed in the semiconductor device package 1 of electromagnetic emissions generated by semiconductor devices outside the semiconductor package 1. Since the conductive frame 14 is grounded through the connection member 17, and the EMI shield 16 directly contacts the conductive frame 14, the EMI shield 16 is grounded through the conductive frame 14.

The EMI shield 16 has a top surface 161, a bottom surface 162 opposite to the top surface 161, and a lateral surface 163. In one embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 1A, the lateral surface 103 of the substrate 10 extends horizontally beyond the lateral surface 163 of the EMI shield 16, on one or both sides of the semiconductor package 1, where the term “horizontally” is with respect to the orientation of the semiconductor package 1 illustrated by FIG. 1A. In another embodiment, the lateral surface 163 of the EMI shield 16 is substantially coplanar with the lateral surface 103 of the substrate 10, on one or both sides of the semiconductor package 1. In one embodiment, at least one insulation pad 173 is formed on the bottom surface 162 of the EMI shield 16 and contacts the surfaces 13 a 1, 13 b 1 of the electrical component 13, to electrically isolate the EMI shield 16 from the surfaces 13 a 1, 13 b 1 of the electrical component 13. In another embodiment, the surfaces 13 a 1, 13 b 1 of the electrical component 13 may be surfaces of electrical insulators positioned on contacts 13 a, 13 b respectively, and thus the EMI shield 16 can be in direct contact with the surfaces 13 a 1, 13 b 1 of the electrical component 13, and the insulation pad(s) 173 may be eliminated.

The EMI shield 16 may include a single conductive layer. In accordance with another embodiment of the present disclosure, the EMI shield 16 may include several conductive layers formed of the same material or of different materials. In some embodiments, each conductive layer may have a thickness of, for example, up to about 200 μm, up to about 150 μm, up to about 100 μm, up to about 50 μm, up to about 10 μm, up to about 5 μm, up to about 1 μm, or up to about 500 nm, and down to about 100 nm or less, down to about 50 nm or less, or down to about 10 nm or less.

A second pattern 18 may be, for example, barcodes or other recognition codes that represent information corresponding to the semiconductor device package 1, such as a shipment number of the semiconductor package 1. In one embodiment, the second pattern 18 can be formed from the top surface 161 into the EMI shield 16. That is, the top surface of the second pattern 18 is coplanar with the top surface 161 of the EMI shield 16. The second pattern 18 can be formed by, for example, laser techniques or other suitable techniques.

In some embodiments, rather than forming the first pattern 15 and the second pattern 18, a sticker including a barcode other code may be applied. For example, a sticker may be applied to one or both of the top portion 141 of the conductive frame 14 and the top surface 161 of the EMI shield 16. However, such a sticker may have a thickness of approximately 0.02 mm, which may result in an increase in a height of the semiconductor device package 1. Therefore, forming the barcode or other code by using laser techniques can reduce a total height of the semiconductor device package 1.

FIG. 1B illustrates a top view of the semiconductor device package 1 in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The semiconductor device package 1 shown in FIG. 1B is similar to that shown in FIG. 1A, except that the EMI shield 16 is not included. The opening 14 h 1 is formed corresponding to the location of the component extending vertically the highest in the semiconductor package 1, (e.g., electrical component 13 in FIG. 1A), so that the bottom surface 162 of the EMI shield 16 is coplanar with the highest portion of that component. In this way, in embodiments including the EMI shield 16, the EMI shield 16 is placed to cover a top surface of the semiconductor package device 1 along a plane. By including the opening 14 h 1 to expose the top portion of the electrical component 13, a total height of the semiconductor device package 1 depicted in FIGS. 1A and 1B may be reduced by at least about 0.25 mm, which may, in turn, reduce manufacturing costs. The openings 14 h 2 are formed in the conductive frame 14 taking into consideration a balancing of stresses on the conductive frame 14.

FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B and FIG. 2C illustrate a semiconductor manufacturing process in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 2A, a partial semiconductor device package 1 a is illustrated, including a substrate 10. A plurality of active electrical components 12, 12′ and a plurality of electrical components 13, 23, 33 are attached on a top surface 101 of the substrate 10.

A conductive frame 14 is positioned over and mounted on the top surface 101 of the substrate 10 through a connection member 17. The connection member 17 may be, for example, a conductive bonding material.

The conductive frame 14 has a top portion 141, a rim 142 and at least one compartment 143. The top portion 141 has a top surface 1411. The rim 142 and the compartment 143 are substantially perpendicular to the top portion 141. The conductive frame 14 covers the active electrical components 12, 12′ and the electrical component 33. The top portion 141 of the conductive frame 14 has at least one opening 14 h to expose the electrical components 13, 23. The top surface 1411 of the top portion 141 of the conductive frame 14 and the surfaces 13 a 1, 13 b 1 of the first electrical component 13, which is the component which extends vertically the highest in the semiconductor device package 1, are substantially coplanar.

The compartment 143 extends from the top portion 141 of the conductive frame 14 to separate the active electrical component 12 from the active electrical component 12′ disposed on the top surface 101 of the substrate 10, to decrease the amount of electromagnetic emissions of the active electrical component 12 reaching the active electrical component 12′, and to decrease the amount of electromagnetic emissions of the active electrical component 12′ reaching the active electrical component 12. In another embodiment, the compartment 143 can further separate a first set of electrical components (e.g., 13, 33) from a second set of electrical components (e.g., 23) disposed on the top surface 101 of the substrate 10.

The active electrical components 12, 12′, the electrical components 13, 23, 33 and the conductive frame 14 are secured or mounted on the top surface 101 of the substrate 10 by a surface mount technique. Then, a reflow process is performed, for example to form a metallic interconnect phase between under bump metallization and solder.

A first pattern 15 (e.g., one or more barcodes or other recognition codes that represent information of the semiconductor device package 1) may be formed in or on the conductive frame 14. In one embodiment, the first pattern 15 may be formed from the top surface 1411 into the top portion 141 of the conductive frame 14 using for example, laser techniques or other suitable techniques. Alternatively, the first pattern 15 may be applied, such as by way of a sticker. The first pattern 15 may be scanned, and the scanned pattern or the information it represents may be stored in a storage device (not shown in FIG. 2B). In some embodiments, a stored image of the first pattern 15 may be mapped to relevant information of the semiconductor device package 1 a.

Referring to FIG. 2B, an electrically insulating material is injected or dispensed through the openings 14 h of the conductive frame 14 to form an underfill 11 to encapsulate electrical contacts 12 a of the active electrical components 12, 12′, thereby forming a partial semiconductor device package 1 b.

Singulation may be performed to divide a strip of semiconductor device packages 1 b into a plurality of individual semiconductor device packages 1 b. The singulation may be performed, for example, by using a dicing saw, laser or other appropriate cutting means.

Referring to FIG. 2C, an EMI shield 16 is formed on the external surface of the conductive frame 14 so as to be in contact with the top surface 1411 of the top portion 141 of the conductive frame 14, an outer lateral surface 1421 of the rim 142 of the conductive frame 14 and the surfaces 13 a 1, 13 b 1 of the electrical component 13.

The EMI shield 16 has a top surface 161 and a bottom surface 162 opposite to the top surface 161. In one embodiment, at least one insulation pad 173 is formed on the bottom surface 162 of the EMI shield 16 and is in contact with the surfaces 13 a 1, 13 b 1 of the electrical component 13, to electrically isolate the EMI shield 16 from the surfaces 13 a 1, 13 b 1 of the electrical component 13. In another embodiment, the surfaces 13 a 1, 13 b 1 of the electrical component 13 can be surfaces of an electrical insulator material, and thus the EMI shield 16 can be in direct contact with the surfaces 13 a 1, 13 b 1 of the electrical component 13, and the insulation pad(s) 173 eliminated.

The EMI shield 16 may be deposited as a conductive thin film, and may include, for example, aluminum (Al), copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), tin (Sn), gold (Au), silver (Ag), nickel (Ni) or stainless steel, or a mixture, an alloy, or other combination thereof. The EMI shield 16 may include a single conductive layer. In accordance with another embodiment of the present disclosure, the EMI shield 16 may include several conductive layers of either the same material or different materials.

A second pattern 18 (e.g., barcodes or other codes that correspond to information related to the semiconductor device package 1), is formed or placed on the top surface 161 of the EMI shield 16. In an embodiment, the second pattern 18 can be formed from the top surface 161 into the EMI shield 16 to form the semiconductor device package 1 as described and illustrated with reference to FIG. 1A. The second pattern 18 can be formed, for example, using laser techniques or other suitable techniques.

As described with respect to FIG. 2B, an electrically insulating material is introduced through the openings 14 h of the conductive frame 14 to form the underfill 11. Accordingly, the conductive frame 14, the active electrical components 12, 12′, the electrical components 13, 23, 33 and the conductive frame 14 can be placed and mounted on the top surface 101 of the substrate 10 by a single surface mount process, followed by reflow. By way of contrast, if conductive frame 14 did not have openings 14 h, the underfill 11 would have to be introduced prior to the placement of the conductive frame 14, and a subsequent second surface mount process and reflow would be included to place the conductive frame 14 on the substrate 10. Thus, the use of openings 14 h in the conductive frame 14 allows for reduced manufacturing costs.

Additionally, because the underfill 11 is formed subsequent to the connection of the conductive frame 14 and the connection member 17, the connection member 17 may act as a stop for the underfill 11. By way of contrast, if the conductive frame 14 had no openings 14 h, the underfill 11 would be introduced prior to mounting the conductive frame 14 to the substrate 10. The semiconductor manufacturing process shown in FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B and FIG. 2C allows for a distance D between the edge of the active electrical component 12 and the connection member 17 to be less than about 0.2 mm. By contrast, if the conductive frame 14 had no openings 14 h, so that the underfill 11 was applied prior to the mounting of the conductive frame 14, a distance which may be more than about 0.55 mm may be reserved from the edge of the active electrical component 12 to allow for the horizontal expansion of the underfill 11. In other words, to prevent the underfill 11 from expanding to occupy the space where the connection member 17 is to be formed subsequently, a space of about 0.55 mm or more would be reserved. Thus, the semiconductor manufacturing process shown in FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B and FIG. 2C may reduce the total width of the semiconductor device package 1 by at least about 0.35 mm on a side, which can, in turn, reduce manufacturing costs.

As used herein, the terms “substantially,” “substantial,” “approximately,” and “about” are used to denote small variations. For example, the terms can refer to less than or equal to ±10%, such as less than or equal to ±5%, less than or equal to ±4%, less than or equal to ±3%, less than or equal to ±2%, less than or equal to ±1%, less than or equal to ±0.5%, less than or equal to ±0.1%, or less than or equal to ±0.05%. The term “substantially coplanar” can refer to two surfaces within micrometers (μm) of lying along the same plane, such as within 100 μm, within 80 μm, within 60 μm, within 40 μm, within 30 μm, within 20 μm, within 10 μm, or within 1 μm of lying along the same plane. Two surfaces or components can be deemed to be “substantially perpendicular” if an angle therebetween is, for example, 90°±10°, such as ±5°, ±4°, ±3°, ±2°, ±1°, ±0.5°, ±0.1°, or ±0.05°. When used in conjunction with an event or circumstance, the terms “substantially,” “substantial,” “approximately,” and “about” can refer to instances in which the event or circumstance occurs precisely, as well as instances in which the event or circumstance occurs to a close approximation.
